Why is caf appointing the same referee that officiated Morocco's last game with Cameroon to officiate our match as well??


Is it that there is a drought of referees in the competition that would warrant Dahane Beida to officiate a Moroccan game b2b


Like his last performance was even so bias. God help Us

TheSuperNerd:
You know, speaking of Algeria's head coach.
If only some folks took their time to research the coaching pedigree of Vladimir Petkovic, they would appreciate the victory even more.

Petkovic is the man who overcame Didier Deschamps' World Champions France at Euros 2020 in that very pulsating round of 16 game. His Switzerland side did something magnificent.

He also coached Switzerland to the final 4 of the Euro Nations League in 2019.

He was also Lazio coach as far back as 2012-2013 and won the Coppa Italia.

No be small coaching mind Chelle outclass yesterday.

Like you rightly said, Petkovic did plan painstakingly to stop our key men but was still undone. It just tells us how hard our setup is to stop when in flow. The Algerians did try to press our backline at a point in the first half but the way and manner our lads bypassed them and switched plays to ease pressure made Petkovic and his lads adjust.

Our next match is on Wednesday. Morocco played a day before us, hence will have a day of rest more than us, yet we will be the ones to travel from the city we played our last match to go meet them in the city they played their last match?

We have a day less to rest, yet we will also be the travellers? Nna this arrangement get as e be oo. 😟😟

IronGalaxy:
You almost topped that group not by defeating us but by having our points docked.. let it also be said, your group was darn easy.. lets see when you meet, Congo, Morocco, Algeria etc.

yinkeys:
I think Egypt will beat Senegal
I pray Nigeria beats Morocco but our eagles will face serious adversity

lbrichman2:
Correct!!!
Make we try push top 20!

lbrichman2:
We don't need to wait till then
If we are not fast, another country can move ahead of us
Tie him down now!!

Odunayaw:
Nah, he just refuses to be bullied

Subzero0477:
Lol Morocco were head and shoulders above Cameroon, all these ref talk na consolation

Mujtahida:
I was surprised when the guys on the hindsight podcast mentioned it in their latest edition that our players were fearful in that match against Congo.

That day, it was that fear that I saw in our players eyes that made me give up.

Blueelf:
I know this is early

But

Should Morocco win tonight and we somehow edge Algeria, do we have a chance of beating Morocco since our players are notorious fowlers

Kog45:
Only Onyeka can win this match for us.He need to neutralize that midfied,if he does that we're free to go

mekabuachi:
Final whistle what platform are they active on?
Checked Instagram didn't see anything really tangible...

Mujtahida:
You should be doing something like this too bro. You'd do well. All you need is consistency.

There are few channels I must watch pre and post our matches.

The hindsight podcast
Football fans tribe
Eagles tracker
Victor modo
Victor Ademola
Gaant football
Naija football bias (our own BascoVanVeli's)
Soccernittygritty

And many more. They enhance and enrich the viewing experience

semid4lyfe:
They are training regularly in Fez where they played the group stage and R-16 matches.

They only refused to travel to Marrakech as scheduled until their allowances and bonuses for the group stage and round of 16 was settled.

Algeria is a damn good team, by my assessment even better than Senegal and I don't feel good about playing them. I hope we win but if results go otherwise. I wouldn't be surprised too.

minfelix:
oga still on still, people said their attack was very good, especially in that game Vs senegal…because Algeria don beat them now their attack is now shitty

ThunderFireAgba:
And I don't see that game having more than 1 or 3 goals cos both defenses are tightened up. It may end in 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 in anyone's favour.
It will be a tough match with alot of counters against the Nigerian side. Hope out LB and RB are equally to the task.

ThunderFireAgba:
Any team that scores first, wins the match. Most especially in the 2nd half.
